Greetings, and oh, is it snack time???

Pictured here are our FiveSibes ever-so-patiently waiting at our back kitchen door.Why are they waiting you ask? Well, I don't know about your Sibe babies, but when it comes to anything food, we have their immediate rapt attention! They can be in the middle of playing, sleeping, digging, chewing, or tearing something up, but when they hear either a shake of the "bone" jar or the rustling of a plastic bag, we suddenly have five very happy furbabies all around us, wooing and pawing and posing away for a treat. Funny part is, our back door has now become synonymous with food. They can be over in the far side of the yard digging their body-size trenches to Australia, but when they hear the back door open, they thunder their way up onto the deck at break-neck speed for some Husky hugs...well, I like to think so anyhow! In reality, they are looking for...you guessed it...a snack! Although the Husky hugs are wanted (when I'm being honest with myself I know the hugs are wanted more by the HuFamily than the Sibe Family), but in reality they are looking for that special treat hidden in our hands. So in our Husky Haven, a door opening equals a snack. But then again, a window opening equals a snack, a shake of a jar equals a snack, a bag (of any kind) equals a snack, a box (of any kind) equals a snack, hands in pocket equals a snack, one of our cars pulling in the driveway equals a snack....

    Oh yes! We love to eat snacks. Hot dogs, cheese, and pizza bones are our favs!

    My Doggy Nanny started a bad habit of giving me treats out of the window on the porch - so when I see her there, I think the takeout window is open!

    What a great pikh! When Mom was married, at one point she had five too!

    You pups sure have trained your human well! Bravo! You SHOULD get a snack every time a human is around. Why not?!

    Excellent photo!

    I have found it amazing that a breed can be so deaf when their names are being shouted, but they can hear the crinkle of cellophane from outside the house.

    So nice to hear from everyone! Oh, here too my babies absolutely love pizza; ice cream, and yogurt! My family just roll their eyes when I bring home the leftover pizza from eating out, but it is well-received when I arrive home! I have to say, I like the above idea of my getting a snack each time a human is around...yummm! And yes,I so agree, for a breed that likes to at times feign deafness, they sure do hear just fine when that tiny wrapper is crinkled!!! Too smart for their own good!

    We have one sibe here who defies the Sibe trait of foodaholic - Phantom does like some treats but certainly can't be trained using treats:) Picky boy. Now Thunder and Ciara more than make up for his lack.

    Woos, Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

#PrayersForHarley - Dewclaw Tumor

Image
Dewclaws. Such an unnecessary evil for a dog. In August, I noticed Harley limping. At 11-and-a-half, she is a bit stiff-legged at times from arthritis, but this was a more pronounced limp and she was having an extra tough time sitting down. She seemed very uncomfortable. She was also becoming a bit snarley, especially when I was touching her paw, which is something that never typically bothers her. Upon further checking, I noticed an odd lump around her dewclaw on her right leg, thinking it was possibly a pulled dewclaw, maybe a splinter, thistle, or even a bee sting , she became extremely agitated when I touched it.    (Warning: some photos may be somewhat graphic, but I am sharing for educational purposes).   Oddity beneath the dew claw.   Off to the vet we went. At the vet, Harley is protective of her paw by hiding it . Harley's paw was shaved and it uncovered a very large inflamed area surrounding the dewclaw and beyond, as you can see in ...

The Rainbow Bridge Welcomes A New FurAngel - Buddy, the Christmas Husky - A Forever Symbol of Hope for Rescued Dogs

Image
Original photo by and courtesy of Lisa Byrd; modified by FiveSibes The Rainbow Bridge must be some (p)awesome place to be for it has so many amazing, beautiful angel animals there. My beloved Gibson is there. As is my Chelsey, Sandy, kitty Smokie, bunny Sunny, my fox Ah, many horses, and so many others pets. We have many furfriends who have also crossed The Rainbow Bridge. All of these beloved animals are there...so healthy and happy, with all the dogs enjoying their zoomies and playing Fetch all day in a land that is eternally beautiful. Sounds perfect. Only catch is when our devoted companions are there, we can no longer physically be with them. So while they are in a place where the spirit soars, our hearts are broken as we are missing them here with us. It is a hurt we all as pet parents now way too well.  And today, as unbelievable as it seems as I write this, we have to bid a final farewell to another dear furpal, Buddy, the Christmas Husky , who has now earned h...

Fit For Our #FiveSibes Alpha Queen: Celebrating Harley's 14½ Birthday

Image
Born on March 10, 2005, our beautiful alpha queen, pupster surrogate momma, and my daughter's and our first Siberian Husky,  turns 14½ today! You may be wondering why are we celebrating her half birthday? Because, as heartbreaking as it is, we now know she will not be here in March to celebrate her 15th Birthday as I once had hoped. Heartfelt thanks to Ann at Zoolatry for this beautiful badge. Thank you all who are sharing it and joining paws for our girl. As amazing and strong as our queen has been, and how proud I have been of how she still could outrun Pupsters Wolf and Bandit, still splash in her pool like a puppy, tear up a dog bed like there's no tomorrow, and chase her tail until the sun sets, our beloved Husky leader has also been dealing with health issues that we have been treating, but are now slowing her down and, heartbreakingly we are preparing ourselves for her journey, that we as pet parents all dread, to the Rainbow Bridge.  “Dogs' lives a...
